The parameters for samba seems to be correct, so i think it's a unix
permission problem.


Via telnet you see the link entry, but are you able to access this link
as user jpleau?

Or: What show ls -l <FileWhichIsLinkedTo>. Are this readable by all
listed users?

As i understood right, samba will resolve the link, if this fail, the
entry should not listed.
